What is extensor tendonitis on the top of the foot? also what are the symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tendinitis: The anterior tibialis muscle is located on the front (anterior) leg, and its tendon will lift the toes/foot during walking. Tendons attach muscle to bones, and itis means inflammation. You would expect pain across the anterior ankle and top,of the foot. Topicals like Voltaren gel are anti inflammatory, lidocaine gel is desensitizing, Ben gay is pain masking. Boots may be used to ‘rest’ the tendon
